There was a time when F1 was about innovation, designing the fastest/best handling car, allowing as many pitstops (or not) as you chose, teams choosing what fuel loads to run, how long their engine lasted, and on and on...

Now we have a contest to see who can design a car that is easier on its tires. Plus you have to run both good and crappy tires during each race.

It seems to be more like running the Olympic 4x100 relay with the first 3 runners barefoot on sharp stones and the last runner being a pathetically inferior runner. That would "even up" the competition in the Olympics!

Do I still watch F1? Yeah. Do I enjoy it as much? No!
